Use Notes:

• The Tags column includes information on application state (open, closed, late, rolling, etc.), program location and industry focus (if any, those without an industry focus are industry agnostic)
• If the only published info on Next Program Start date is the month, it is listed as starting the first day of that month (ex. October 1, 2025 for the YC Fall 25 batch)
• Sources for published terms are linked in the terms section if they differ from the main site
• Rolling applications have a deadline set for the end of 2026
• Tier explanations:
  • A - gold standard: good investment terms, strong reputation with other investors, high touch program
  • B - solid option: good investment terms, unproven or ok reputation with other investors, or low touch program
  • C - unproven: terms aren’t as good, niche focus or middling reputation with other investors, unclear program value
  • D - be wary: ok or bad terms, reputation with other investors is close to negative, unclear program value
  • F - avoid: terrible terms, joining program will turn other investors away
